So says the label of this Pale Ale made by Mexico City brewer Cru Cru.

A crisp hoppy aroma sprung forth as soon as I cracked it, it poured well and looks good in the glass.

The whiff of the brew, however, promised a bit more than it delivers on the palate.

Nevertheless, it’s a nice Pale Ale and one that is no doubt proud of its Mexico City roots – La Romita (The Little Roma) is a small and very beautiful area of the larger neighbourhood of Roma, which has garnered worldwide attention as a result of the Alfonso Cuarón film of the same name.
